Disappointing
by SeeKay on 8/24/22FivePoint Amphitheatre - IrvineAlthough we enjoyed the actual production of Star Wars, the Empire Strikes Back, the rest of the experience was very disappointing. This was our first (and most probably our LAST) visit to Five Points. Parking was a a mess. Confusing directions and staff directing many cars converging at once. Parking sections were not clearly marked, so after the performance there were hundreds of us tapping our car alarms to find our cars. The entrance restrictions are ridiculous. I had a small bag but it wasn’t small enough, so once we got to the entrance we were turned back. Had to walk all the way back to the car to leave a small purse in the car. When we returned to the entrance we were once again turned away because we had a lap blanket. And once again, all the way back to the car. By this time we are angry and frustrated. Once inside the food line took an hour to order and receive our food. An HOUR! Nothing was prepared in advance so every person had to wait. And the prices were ridiculously expensive for a couple of burgers and some wine. The seating sections are not well marked and no one was around to help direct us to our seats. One person pointed to an area and said “you’re up in there”. Rows and seats are not well marked either. Seats have no cup holders so food and drinks had to be placed on the ground (gross,j and thy were so tightly spaced that everyone has to stand up to let anyone in or out. We were crammed in so tightly you can’t move or get comfortable. What a disappointing experience this was. Won’t go back.
